We'll have to agree to disagree on that ; farmer green thinks that any agreement which did not include China and India and the US would be absolutely pointless, just as an agreement for the whole of Godzone would be merely symbolic.

Farmer Green looks forward to complete validation of the GCMs. Thirty years is a very short time in the life of a farm such as his where the fifth family generation now has its feet on the ground.
